  Many of my readers who do not have wordpress accounts have told me they cannot leave comments on my blogs. Any idea why this is happening?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi. First, you may want to check your Discussion Settings:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#other-comment-settings (particularly “Users must be registered and logged in to comment”)

  You may have your blog set to allow only comments from signed-in WP.com users. Check under Dashboard->Settings->Discussion.

  Thank you both–I did make some changes and will see if my friends can now comment on my blog. Won’t help when they try to on other WP blogs, but at least they’ll be able to do mine. Thanks!
